The need for a common education and training track in surgical oncology across Europe has been emphasized. ESSO provides several hands-on courses for skills training and face-to-face discussions. The core curriculum provides a framework for the overall theoretical requirements in surgical oncology. The UEMS/EBSQ fellowship exam is designed to test core

Interethnic differences in pancreatic cancer incidence and risk factors: The Multiethnic Cohort. [PDF]
While disparity in pancreatic cancer incidence between blacks and whites has been observed, few studies have examined disparity in other ethnic minorities. We evaluated variations in pancreatic cancer incidence and assessed the extent to which known risk

FOLFIRINOX or Gemcitabine as Adjuvant Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer
BACKGROUND Among patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, combination chemotherapy with fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) leads to longer overall survival than gemcitabine therapy.

Substantial progress has been made in our understanding of the biology of pancreatic cancer, and advances in patients' management have also taken place. Evidence is beginning to show that screening first-degree relatives of individuals with several family members affected by pancreatic cancer can identify non-invasive precursors of this malignant ...

A novel protein isoform of the RON tyrosine kinase receptor transforms human pancreatic duct epithelial cells. [PDF]
The MST1R gene is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer producing elevated levels of the RON tyrosine kinase receptor protein. While mutations in MST1R are rare, alternative splice variants have been previously reported in epithelial cancers.

Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate (EGCG) Suppresses Pancreatic Cancer Cell Growth, Invasion, and Migration partly through the Inhibition of Akt Pathway and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition: Enhanced Efficacy when Combined with Gemcitabine. [PDF]
Most pancreatic cancers are usually diagnosed at an advanced stage when they have already metastasized. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major polyphenolic constituent of green tea, has been shown to reduce pancreatic cancer growth, but its effect on
